Found Deceased WA - Jenise Wright, 6, Bremerton, 2 Aug 2014 - #8 *Arrest*

[SuperTmo]

Wow, that was tough to watch. I'm glad you posted the link to this video. I haven't had much time to really delve into the details of this case besides focusing on the details on the suspect. But seeing Jenise's mother really brought home the impact of what has happened here. And I keep seeing Jenise's smiling face in her photo. I have a niece who will be 6 years old this fall - she shares the same birthdate with my wife - and I cannot, or maybe I refuse, to imagine her being murdered in the way that Jenise was killed. It's just too painful to contemplate. I know that Jenise's parents should have kept a closer eye on their daughter, but I sure feel bad for them. They will be dealing with this grief and sorrow until their dying days. I'll be babysitting my niece and nephew this weekend and you can bet I am going to hug them tight and tell them that I love them more than anything.

Yes it is. My little girl is going into first grade, and I have three nieces this same exact age (all w/in 3 months of each other). I can't even let my mind wander to the idea of something like this happening to any of the little girls in my life. When I read the PC affidavit she was actually lying next to me on my bed watching this youtube video she absolutely loves, and she dropped my iPad on her face. Her first fat lip. She sobbed because of the pain and panicked about the (tiny bit of) blood she saw. I *hate* seeing her cry, especially from pain. It wrecks me emotionally! I'm really sensitive, and just never want her to suffer even in the slightest bit. It destroyed me to see her reaction to something so minor after reading what horror Jenise went through, knowing the pain she felt was beyond measure. It makes my heart physically hurt to think about. Her poor mama. My sincere hope is that Jenise was unconscious very early on or just somehow completely unaware of what was happening.

I asked way earlier on the previous thread:
bail has been granted at $1M (didn't hear if that was cash or bond)
could he bond out if the eval is done quickly??

If by some minute chance he bonded out, LE would surely have him under tight, tight surveillance.

He's probably safer in prison, actually, considering the outrage in his community.

But yes, Gitana, why on earth is this suspected child murderer and rapist even eligible for bail in the first place?

It is good to look at all angles but some posts are implying things that aren't allowed to be discussed and so we can't respond to why we think these implications are not correct without breaking the rules.

Gotcha! Makes sense.

He must have put his undies back on / pulled them back up after sexually assaulting Jenise. The blood is likely from Jenise.

Ohh, you're probably right. I was hoping she somehow hurt him good!

I guess I have to stop saying "I'm new here" when I disagree with a longtime poster, and I know Gitana is a very thoughtful and knowledgeable websleuther. But I don't see Ted Bundy as a valid comparison.

I've studied Bundy (and other serial murderers) extensively - I can probably quote Bob Keppel verbatim in many instances. Bundy is one of the most unique and successful serial criminals in the west, although to be fair, the proliferation of cameras and advances in forensic science would make it much harder for him to have his murderous career today. That notwithstanding, not only was Bundy highly organized but he was able to persuade adult victims to come with him, and then render them unconscious and spirit them off to kill sites, and conceal their remains for months if not years. And of course, he was a dedicated prowler, a peeper (as Gitana noted), and a B&E man (q.v. the Linda Healy case in 1974, still one of the more audacious abduction murders ever perpetrated.) Not to mention a necrophiliac. There is only one police interview where he was ever at a disadvantage - the Pensacola arrest in '78, when he was totally exhausted. Otherwise, he was confident, cocky, and he usually played with LE in his interviews. Gaeta, by contrast, is a boy who was quickly reduced to tears, and one who was fairly easily persuaded to admit his guilt.

I think Occam's razor applies in this case - at least at this time, with the evidence we have, Gaeta is just a teenager who acted impulsively, killed to prevent his victim from talking, and then did an ineffectual job disposing of the body and the evidence that connected him to the crime. By contrast, Bundy's earliest suspected crimes have never even been definitely linked to him, and of course he never admitted to them - unlike Gaeta, who has already confessed.

I agree with your thoughts. However, I think Gitana was comparing the type of personality that GG and TB had, and not GG's competence/expertise.

Oh, and :welcome: to WS. You make some very well thought out posts.

The burger king sighting makes no sense because the sighting was of 2 little girls in burger king by themselves. So unless he grabbed Jenise and another little girl and dropped them off at burger king by themselves, it just doesnt work.

couldn't it be a drive thru and/or
leave kids in car and go inside order and return to car?

I didn't realize this is the 2nd child of James Wright's that has died. A 9 mo old has an intestinal problem that killed him

"The heartache of losing a child isn’t new to Jenise’s father. James Aaron Wright, from a previous marriage, was 9 months old when he died of an intestinal condition."

Locking up in 5 minutes guys. There is still a lot of sleuthing of minors and family going on. It's against TOS, so please watch what you are posting.

I don't know if it matters to anyone, but Heather and Drew also said that they forgave the person who kidnapped and murdered Lizzie and Lyric. I really hope that nobody thinks there's anything sinister about them. MOO

Thank you very kindly, katydid23. I may have failed to appreciate the distinction, and if that's the case, I owe Gitana an apology. Bundy was absolutely steeped in murder and possession; he appears to have spent most of his waking hours, even once imprisoned, thinking about these things. In prison in Florida he befriended other murderers and rapists so that he could discuss and evaluate their own acts of violence. I think it's fair to say he's one of the most compulsive and advanced sexual deviants ever known to LE. It's hard for me to see Gaeta in the same light. But all serial offenders have to start somewhere, and I readily admit I don't know any more about GG than what I've read in media, here on WS, or in police publications. For example: whether or not he tormented animals, lit fires, or had abusive parents. I'll try to be more careful as I read other member's suppositions.

I also just wanted to say that I wanted to respond to many of your awesome posts about the value of forgiveness a couple threads ago, but did not get a chance to before the thread was closed.

I, unfortunately, am not close to being on that level yet (example: Jessica, almost 2 years later) but I totally appreciate and understand what many of you were saying about not letting something like this hold coldness in your heart, prevent one from healing and moving forward.

As stated, there are so many people out there who have been strong enough to forgive during the most horrible situations, and I'm truly in awe and admiration of them. Me, if you put ARS or GG in front of me, there would not be any nice forgiving words. They have taken away precious, beautiful, innocent light, inflicted pain and torture upon them and thosae that love them, and there is nothing imo that can ever ever ever take away from this. jmo

There's an idea. Hope this is the case!

Good morning everyone

In a setting such as the one this community lived in, it seems like if GG had any history of anything serial-killer-ish such as torturing animals would have come out by now. Other kids would be likely to know. I can't figure out, or even imagine his motive. Could he have been trying to convince himself of something about his own sexuality? Did he have a bad break-up recently? It doesn't appear he had a girlfriend. At least with a six-year old, he could have the "upper hand", so to speak. Maybe he had been recently rejected? This feels more like an issue with the female sex in general, but Jmo.

I just want to respond to questions about why he didn't take a car and drive off with Jenise to dispose etc... I believe this occurred under the cover of darkness. If the older brother was in town as I suspect, and the parents had their vehicles, it's very likely they had the keys with them and he would have had to wake them to use a car in the middle of the night, which would generate more questions from his family soooo.
That's all I had to say.
Mom, dad, older brother cars.

Is it possible that GG slept over at their house on sat and he and JW snuck out after the parents were asleep for an adventure?

I found a tweet about him and am just waiting for confirmation if I can post it or not...seems to me, he's had this propensity for young girls in him. One just doesn't wake up one day and decide to rape/murder a child..is my belief
